Friday, November 20th 6PM Shabbat We are aware that this may be a very difficult Thanksgiving for many of us. Perhaps our usual family or friends gatherings are not happening.

Sometimes focusing on the things we have to be grateful for can be a helpful antidote to feeling overwhelmed. In this...
We will light menorahs together and play some games. Robin Hruska has a downloaded Chanukkah Bingo game we can play together that has 32 individual boards. Plenty for all. To help things go smoothly, if you can email her ahead of time, she can send you a board before the party.
Candle lighting, Kiddush and perhaps some discussion. Hope to see you there!

Rabbi Gold brings a modern and relevant interpretation of Vayikra, which is traditionally about sacrifice. Jonathan Sacks commentary about Hope and Optimism is also quite illuminating. Reading these two articles ahead of time will help you jump right...
